CoolSink
TM
Standardized Plate Cooling Error-Free
· Accommodates a variety _
of plates, including 6-, 12-, _
24-, 48- and 96-well
plates, 96-well and 384well PCR plates
· Uniform temperature
to all wells
· Stable platform on ice,
dry ice or other cooling___
or warming media
· Decontaminate
with bleach, alcohol
or autoclave
CoolSink thermo-conductive plate holders provide temperature-equalizing interface between plate and
temperature sources such as ice, dry ice, incubators, hot plate and water baths. The novel alloy rapidly
adapts to source temperature and ensures uniformity across all wells – eliminating edge effect.

96-well plate on ice
· Multi-well plates placeddirectly on ice do not
reach critical <4˚C
temperature in any
of the wells. (Fig. 1, A.)
· CoolSink plate modules
bring all wells <4˚C and
evenly distribute the
temperature. (Fig. 1, B.)

Extended plate cooling or warming: Our ThermalTray™ platform supports CoolSink and CoolRack® modules in liquid temperature media such as melted ice, liquid nitrogen and water baths. Tubes and plates do not come in direct contact with temperature
source ensuring better organization, reduced error and minimized risk of contamination.
Cooling: Place the ThermalTray platform into a pan of ice and place the
CoolSink or CoolRack modules on top. Units will equilibrate to less than
2˚C in approximately four minutes. Assembly will ultimately equilibrate
to approximately 1˚C and hold that temperature as long as there is ice in
the melted ice water (10-12 hours).
Warming: Place the ThermalTray into the basin of a water bath and
place a CoolRack tube holder or CoolSink plate holder on top. Both units
will equilibrate to water bath temperature within minutes and will hold
temperature as long as they remain in the water bath and water level
is maintained.
Ice-free plate cooling
CoolBox MP System is an ice-free cooling or freezing container that
accommodates all CoolSink and CoolRack plate modules. The reusable
cooling cartridge will provide up to 10 hours of <4˚C cooling while
ensuring temperature uniformity across all wells of the plate. Place dry ice
in the CoolBox instead of the cooling cartridge and obtain hours of -78˚C
freezing in a compact, portable workstation.
